NECA had a resident evil toy line once. They were pretty neat. I got a few figures from that line.

I looked at some of the neca re stuff for my mvc2 shelf and they were too much and kind of underwhelming even at retail prices.
There was a pretty good third party nemesis coming but it kind of vanished.

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.
I know there have been Resident Evil figures, but they’re always from the most recent game and it’s usually only a couple characters. I want a proper figure line that goes back and does classic stuff like the full STARS crew from RE1, and also more obscure stuff like the blonde lady from Revelations or Chris in his little sailor suit from RE5. And monsters.

If a much less popular series like Indiana Jones can get it, why not Resident Evil? I guarantee it would sell much better.

The secondary market price on some average RE dolls seems to support a proper line would do fine.

For anyone keeping track of the deluge of Classified figures: Tripwire charges and ships tomorrow, the Crimson strike team on the 19th, and Chuckles on the 23rd.

Also if anybody finds that classic Hawkman variant in the wild and could hook me up, apparently people have found him at GameStops and Targets already.

Huh huh buhhh.
Welp I figure the better toy versed here might be able to help. The siren song of the tiny plastic has called me to the rocks, I've ordered a replica of Optimus with his trailer which is an exact replica of the Optimus I had growing up as the first transformer I've bought since the 90s and a few other figures for the first time in years. All it needs is a big black box with 4 buttons on it to do the voice lines but eh close enough. Now while I was a transformer kid most of my friends were in TMNT, and heres where I'm hitting a snag. Way back it he late 1900s I broke a TNMT figure of a friend of mine I was hoping to replace so his own kids might play with it.

All I remember about it was that you could change the head of the turtle, it rotated in and out of the shell. The head's what snapped off back in the day, and all I've found through searching TMNT head changer/changing is a single turtle on ebay, not sure if I'm missing something by not knowing more about the toy itself so I'd figure I would ask the experts. Dunno if there's much more to find but hey anything helps, thanks.

No he's a guy.

That's 100% a homage.

Or to be more precise, know a lot of Blizzard stuff?

It's copied from other sources/influences albeit changed up.

Been Blizzards way since day one.


Found out what the brain helmet for the Range Viper really does, its suppose to be a sonar like device and the info is put directly to the viper via helmet to alert him people are near.

Got my Big Ben today, ol british looks like he can blast a few and then enjoy a nice spot of tea without missing a beat.

I'm currently really tempted to get the upcoming Mezco King Conan but was weary of him standing out too much in my collection due to not having anything else in a similar style. Perhaps this guy is the answer! From a very quick search out doesn't look like the companies made many (any?) other figures though so I'm hesitant to preorder this one before getting an idea of the final quality

With a week to go, Giant-Man is close to hitting 6000, a few more to go. The last two days of a campaign tends to get backers so they might make it, if not squeak by.

Meanwhile the ReAction Cobra Mothership appears to be bombing hard. It went up four days ago and currently has 291 backers. It only needs 4K but the price, the price! $495.00 +100 in shipping. That's killing it.
They really need to make the bonus items baked into the whole thing, that might help. At this point calling this one DOA otherwise even with 46days to go.

Do ReAction stuff really sell?

Even on other forums I never see anyone talking about it. It feels like a niche of a niche.
